Donegal Coastlines & the Giant’s Causeway

7 & 8 Days Half Board by Coach

Picture a green land of emerald-coloured hills and rugged coastlines, pretty little villages with colour-washed cottages, and an easy, timeless way of life... Welcome to Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Coastline! Stretching for over 1500 miles, Ireland’s coastline is alive with myths and legends, of soaring cliffs and rocky coves. And no trip to this wonderful neck of the woods is complete without a visit to the amazing coastal rock formations known as the Giant’s Causeway, understandably Ireland’s most visited tourist attraction.
